Section II – Groups and Roles for Product
There will not be any grouping in the product. Each student will be responsible for themselves in keeping up with the daily completion.

Differentiated Instruction

MI Strategies

Logical:Students will be able to experience first hand their reactions to physical activity
Visual:The hook in this lesson will engage these learners and the participating in the activities will give them the opportunity to watch how it is done first hand.
Musical:As we are all participating in physical activity music will be playing in the background.
Interpersonal:Students will be able to engage with another when we are performing physical activity.
Kinesthetic: As a class will be doing physical activity so that these students will be able to experience instead of just learn the material.
Naturalist:When we are participating in the physical activity we will be going outside to show the advantages of being active in the fresh air.


Modifications/Accommodations
From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan)
I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.

Plan for accommodating absent students:
Absent students will be responsible for looking on the wikispace for the youtube video's that have been posted by the teacher. They then will be asks to write/ record their feelings toward the activity. Making sure to address questions such as: Did they like it or not. How did they feel before and after. In what ways would this activity benefit them and others.

Extensions

Type II technology:
Tracking in Fitday

Gifted Students:
Students will be able continue the activities as desired.

PART II:

Teaching and Learning Sequence (Describe the teaching and learning process using all of the information from part I of the lesson plan) Take all the components and synthesize into a script of what you are doing as the teacher and what the learners are doing throughout the lesson. Need to use all the WHERETO’s. (3-5 pages)
Class arrangement: tables of 4-5 students
When performing activities class will either be in the gym or outside.
Agenda:
Day 1
Attendance: 5 minutes
Hook: 5 minutes
Fitday Instructions: 15 minutes
Pass out Graphic Designer and Begin Cooperative learning: 20 minutes
Yoga: 25 minutes
Discussion of how they feel: 10 minutes
Day 2
Attendance: 5 minutes
Pilates: 35 minutes
PowerPoint and you tube videos of different forms of activities an cites to find them: (giving them resources for final project) 40 minutes

Students will understand that being physically active will enhance their daily lives. Students will be able to make connections between the amount of physical active and their emotions by tracking their lives in Fitday. This will help them see just how much physical activity can effect your life. Students explain the interrelationship of physiological responses and physical, mental/intellectual, emotional, and social benefits related to regulate participation in physical activity. The teacher will provide a presentation on what self worth is and how it can be effected by physical activity.
Where, Why, What, Hook. Tailors: Visual, Interpersonal

Students will know how to use timelines and sequencing in their work with fitday. Students will be using graphic organizers when working in groups with students. They will be asking eachother they think self worth is. They will also be asked to discuss the effects of low self esteem and high self esteem. Students will also perform a quick write on: Why is it important for you to find a form of physical activity that you enjoy doing? The teacher will be collected the quick writes and the graphic organizers to see if the students are understanding the material. See content Notes.
Equip, Explore, Rethink, Tailors: Interpersonal, Logic, Intrapersonal

Students will be able to experience different forms of physical activity (Yoga/Pilates/ P.E class) The hope is for the students to realize that there are an infinite ways to be physical active and the effect that it will have one their self esteem. Some students don't feel comfortable playing sports or running, hopefully they will be able to find something that they enjoy doing and that they will stick with. The underlying theme that I am trying to convey is physical activity is such a good way to release all of the negatives of ones life and maybe for just 20 mintues they will be able to be comfortable with themselves and feel good. Students will be able to discuss their thinking with they class but they will be working on their products alone. In using fitday students will be able to see the trends of emotions and physical activity and the hope is that they will see that even if they only perform physical activity for just a little bit they can improve their self esteem and realize the importance of physical activity.
Explore, Experience, Rethink, Revise, Refine, Tailors: Kinesthetic, Musical, Intrapersonal, Logic, Visual


Students will be able to self asses through fitday daily. They will also be self assessing while performing the 3 way interviewing. Teacher will be collecting quick writes and graphic organizers and will be able to give timely feedback through those and through fitday. They will be continually working with fitday in the next lesson by using the journal section and also keeping up with their tracking of emotions, food, and physical activity.
